¹⁴ But solid food is for ^(A)the mature, for those who have their powers ^(B)of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

¹⁴ The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ^(A)folly to him, and ^(B)he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ The ^(C)spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

Wisdom from the Spirit

⁶ Yet among ^(A)the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not ^(B)a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, ^(C)who are doomed to pass away.

²¹ but ^(A)test everything; hold fast what is good.

¹³ until we all attain to ^(A)the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ^(B)to mature manhood,^[a] to the measure of the stature of ^(C)the fullness of Christ,

¹⁵ He shall eat ^(A)curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good.

⁹ And it is my prayer that ^(A)your love may abound more and more, ^(B)with knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may approve what is excellent, ^(C)and so be pure and blameless ^(D)for the day of Christ,

^18 (A)having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is ^(B)the hope to which he has called you, what are ^(C)the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

^9 (A)Give your servant therefore an understanding mind ^(B)to govern your people, that I may ^(C)discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”

¹⁵ Let those of us who are ^(A)mature think this way, and if in anything ^(B)you think otherwise, ^(C)God will reveal that also to you.
